Want To Know More?

Ever wondered how the air conditioning system in your car works? Here is a brief description of its operation. First you need a sealed system with a gas inside. The gas used is freon. The freon is pressurized by a compressor and sent through a series of tubes both inside and outside the car. It first will journey out of the compressor to the condenser which is located in the grill of the car. The cooling fan and the air movement while driving is used to remove the heat from the gas. The freon will continue to travel out of the condenser to a pressure reducing device. Since freon has a pressure and temperature relationship, the temperature of the freon reduces drastically. This cold freon now travels to the interior of the car and enters an evaporator. The fan will blow across this unit thereby blowing cold air inside the cabin of the vehicle. As the freon leaves the evaporator it heads back to the compressor to start the journey all over.

So Many Possibilities

The reasons for your A/C System to stop working are many. It could be as simple as low freon or a complicated computer control problem. Below is a list of a few of the possible problems that could cause your A/C System not to work properly.

Too low or high freon charge

HVAC control head malfunction

Compressor internal problems

H-Valve restrictions or operation

Fan circuit or operation

Blend door operation

Ambient air temperature readings

Seals or gaskets leaking

These are just a few of the many causes and symptoms that would result in your A/C performance dropping below your expectations. We would love the opportunity to serve you. Call us or schedule today.
